[TriLUG] software update services for samba?

[Jim Ray]

Sus won't give up to go for pre-win2k.  Sms gets you seriously in bed w/
microsoft and requires win server, sql + sms.

Now, if samba did the sharing and linux emulated a domain controller, are
users able to execute a login script?  If so, you can vary the contents of
the login script according to the flavor of os and execute patches on the
samba share.
